The residence of Mr.. and Mrs. An
drew Yetman, near Dunlap, was the
scene Of most merry gathering on
Wednesday evening of this week; the
occasion was the celebration of the
marriage of their daughter Miss Jessie
10y, to Mr.. G. A. Hege, of Halstead,
Kas. The contracting parties are so
widely and favorably known as to make
this occasion of exceptional interest.
The groom, Mr.. Hege, is proprietor of
the Hege Clothing House at Halstead,
Kas., and sustains the reputation of
being one of the most enterprising and
thorough going merchants of Harvey
County.
Miss 10y, the bride, is a native Of
Lyon County. For the past four years
she has taught in the Emporia City
Schools. Her warm heart and winning
manners have gained for her hosts of
friends throughout the entire county.
The happy couple contracted the heart
affection which on Wednesday evening
proved fatal and swept them away
into the seas of matrimonial bliss,
six years ago while attending
the State Normal School at
this place, from which insti-
tuition they graduated together in the
class of 1888, and where they will be re-
membered as two of the most popular
members of their class.
Over one hundred friends of the par
ties were invited, and the greater num-
Der of those invited were present.
Just as the clock was striking the
hour of 8, the talk and laughter ceased
and little breeze Of suppressed ex.
element passed over the assembly, as
the contracting parties entered and
took their places in the parlor.
The bride was lovely in suit OF
cream-colored satin and lace, being the
same costume in which she stood beside
the groom and received her diploms
from the State Normal School.
The groom was neatly attired il
black, and his handsome and manly
bearing was remarked upon by all.
The ceremony, which was short
beautiful and impressive, was per
formed by the Rev. A. R. Rankin, o.
Americas.
The ceremony was followed by per
feet storm of congratulations and bes
wishes.
Next in order came the weddin,
feast, which was both sumptuous ant
elegant.
To those acquainted with Mrs. Yet
mans culinary skill it need only be re
marked that it was under her super
vision.
Much merriment was afforded by
band of serenaders who surrounde,
{ the house and were just in the act o
beginning their variegated music wheI
discovered by Mr.. Yetman, VIII,
showered upon them hospitality ant
refreshments, and after a pleasan
greeting by the bride and groom, the,
concluded their music would not be il
order.
All present seemed in their happies
